The Associate in Science & Arts enables students to design a program of study designed to transfer to a four year college or university. It is highly recommended that students who know where they are transferring and what major they are pursuing also utilize a transfer guide for that particular program when selecting courses for this degree.

A Maximum of two physical education credits and a maximum of two professional development seminar courses may be used toward a degree.

Basic skill courses (numbers under 100) may not count toward graduation, even though they may be needed as a prerequisite to required courses.

Northwestern Michigan College strongly recommends that you use a transfer guide for the institution where you wish to transfer, and visit that institution as early in your academic career (prior to transfer) as possible.
